Bee Heard

.Too many seniors are waiting for vital services to help them stay in their homes and out of more costly institutional settings. Please support New Yorkers by adding $25 million in funding to the New York State Office of the Aging. This will be in the 2018 budget for critical services like home-delivered meals and adult day programs.
